I don't think a trading platform allowing you to buy / sell stocks should be able to arbitrary decide when you can buy and sell without some reasonable reason that applies to everyone.
I would like to think if they lost the lawsuit they would get fined by the SEC of a fine more than what they would have lost. But, it'll probably less so from a maths point of view it's best to break the law.
Not to mention the fact that many other trading services are following suit.
You could be right about those examples. But the real problem is that neither of them are particularly random. The first one is easy to guess for obvious reasons, and the second one might be a little harder, but not much. Compared to something like the famous "correcthosebatterystaple" (https://xkcd.com/936/) they're both easy.

Think of it like this: you have n^m possibilities, where n is the number of choices you have for each character, and m is the number of characters. Which number matters more?
They’ll probably use that argument to justify their action. “See we saved you from yourself, look how low it got”. But who knows what would have happened if the trades weren’t stopped. The system is rigged.

With Citadel as a large market maker I would think Robinhood likely has a financial conflict of interest with them with respect to their customers, selling Citadel "dumb flow" (and now, depending on how you look at it, lobotomizing the flow).
My theory is that no market makers want to buy the orders Robinhood is selling anymore.
I don't know that F1 designs their steering putting "aesthetics, minimalism, "look" or "coolness" in front of ..."
It is, citadel appears to be blocking trading with fidelity/robinhood while they are artificially tanking the stock with low volume trading.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they disallowed opening of new positions. I.e. if you are currently long, you can sell to close your position or if you are short, you can buy to close position, but you are not allowed to open new longs or new shorts.
Sorry I offended the Elon cult.

Exactly, the way that I understand it, the only bag holders are the hedge funds and other shorters. At 140%, the risk is minimal.
In retrospect, renaming the app was probably a good idea.
Income is different than wealth. If you're making the same (or more even) but paying rent instead of a mortgage you end up in a very different place.
Except, not. It’s mandatory in EU at least that there’s an uninterrupted physical connection between the steering wheel down to the wheels and the fact that it turns more than 360 degrees means the gearing is fixed -and- linear.

What changes though is the power of the electric assist, which decreases as speed goes up, making it harder to turn the wheel, giving eased maneuvering and increased precision + hard to yank at high speed.

This doesn’t preclude that steering might be driven automatically, but the wheel will then turn by itself.

Which is also why it should be round (or almost so, some have a small flat area at the bottom) as it acts as a guard for any unexpected rotation.
IMHO it's a bull case as long as option contracts still need to be filled.

Every company (and stock) works under changing circumstances: regulatory changes, competition, technological innovation, economic/financial circumstances (economic prosperity, rate environment), etc.

Just because a bull case may not exist for GME-as-ownership-unit, does not necessarily mean a bull case does not exist for GME-as-contract-closure-instrument. If you want to focus on GME-as-ownership-unit, as a share in a retail business, that's perfectly valid. But that's not the only perspective.

Right now there's a bull case for GME(-as-contract-closure-instrument): that may not be the case in the future. But that's no different than any other commodity (IMHO).
It shouldn't. Everyone's time should be respected. Clarity and conciseness in writing or in speech is a great way to show that.
Citadel securities does not "play games", they aren't YOLO-ing on a GME short. They are happy to model the market so they can hedge better than their competitors and make money off of the bid-ask spread.

Melvin Capital has already stated they have closed out their position, think it would probably be fraud if they hadn't.
Flying gasoline-engined airplanes is already the default. I suspect it will stay that way until the numbers shift noticeably
It was a bit more nuanced than taking from the rich to give to the poor. Robin Hood took from the tax collectors and gave the money back to those from whom the tax collectors stole.
1 is right. Read section 16.

My employees love the camaraderie and face-to-face adhoc conversations that come from everyone being on the same floor. However no one likes the new workstation layout our company employs; people are on top of each with other minimal partitioning for those that face each other, and no partitioning at all side to side. It's noisy and hard to concentrate and the fact you have a locker and may keep nothing personal on your desk sends a certain message. A message that is amplified by the fact people at a certain org level get offices with a door.

We're working out how to mix up WFH with WFW to try and get the benefits of both.
That's one factor. And for the most part, accessible "merely" with money which is one of the things that make it more superficial.

Sounds great!

Excellent, thanks for the information.

Exactly. They change the names to something more palatable. "Usury" became "interest", so it's all good now. In reality, it's all the same parasitic morally bankrupt garbage.
It reveals that the whole "left vs. right" culture war is a massive sham designed to occupy and waste the all the plebian's attentions and get eyeballs on advertisers while the rich and powerful sit back and laugh.

Anecdotal: my wife just got confirmation that it's gonna be 1-2 days/week from the office on her end once things calm down. I'm fully remote, with the expectation of a larger in-person team sync-up every week or two (that didn't happen yet because of COVID). My sister's boyfriend's team are already talking about 3/4 days of remote work after COVID.

I do agree that for most companies it probably won't be full remote, but if it just resolves in more flexibility, I'm all for it.
You aren't thinking straight. Millions of people bought GME for a single reason and Robinhood denied them that reason. If anything this is going to piss them off even more.

I don't even have a Robinhood account and it is now guaranteed that I will never use Robinhood in my entire life because they are total scumbags.

On the other hand, if swapping out a yoke for a steering wheel measurably improves overall safety on an otherwise identical vehicle, is there still an argument for using a yoke instead of a wheel (even if the car with a yoke is already safer than any other car?)
Gone as well :(
>People that work in the office will have casual conversations that exclude them, and they'll always be a little behind.

My experience is that this behavior doesn't get translated to remote-only workplaces. Casual in-person conversation doesn't shift to chat platforms, it just happens less frequently.

People being remote that miss out on office chit-chat aren't actually missing out on something if their coworkers can help it. I think these interactions are incredibly important for people who value them, and fear of "leaving out" remote workers isn't a very good reason to prevent them.

The most effective workplaces I've been at that have had successful remote workers are the teams that try to consistently involve those people. It's not a set of rules or trainings that makes people do this, it's a mix of cultural values and individual conscientiousness.
> when the people responsible for looking after your money, the actual, literal bank

The bank doesn’t have a fiduciary duty to mortgage customers.

If someone wants someone responsible for looking after money and large purchases, they need a fiduciary financial advisor, not their bank.

The fact that people think the bank is supposed to look after money is part of the problem. The bank is just a vault. Not only are they not responsible for helping someone pick a mortgage and house, they aren’t even competent to do so.

I can’t imagine some retail bank even employing people who could competently assess individual debt/income ratios.

The training is that individuals should have financial literacy enough to know what banks do and don’t do well. And to recognize cross-marketing.

I knew tons of people who made dumb decisions in the 00s and bought way too much house. The bank letting them was part of the problem. But people being stupid was a big part too. I knew families making $50k/year buying $400k houses and refinancing every six months for cash out to pay the mortgage. The bank shouldn’t have done that. But people were really stupid to do this once much less multiple times.
People with diminished physical skills are probably not the intended market for a "plaid mode" race-capable car.
Correct - Robinhood's _marketing_ was "we'll democratize finance".

Robinhood's _purpose_ was to sell order-flow information to the hedge funds. Retail investors were never the customer, always the product.

This is like a mouse complaining about the "irony" of a mousetrap abandoning its mission of cheese-distribution.
Maybe. But the counter is that entrepreneurship has strong network effects, it really pays to be around other talented people and hear about the future they're busy inventing. Maybe we'd see the opposite, people leaving a stable job which ties them to some unexciting place, to try to make it in NYC.
That's a very bad analogy. Exchanges can halt trading. They can say: hey, some crazy stuff is going on here, everyone take a 15 minute time out to think about it before you continue.

Robinhood prevented buying. That is very, very different than stopping trading. While Robinhood's action might not legally be 'market manipulation', it certainly does result in the market being manipulated. People who were not using Robinhood would have their PnL significantly affected since a lot of pressure on the stock price was coming from buyers on RH.
You aren't wrong that it is a bit of work. It's just less work than learning the actual software itself by a lot. Learning .NET's flavor of the year framework stack is not that bad since there is lots of good documentation, classes, books, and blogs. Your software, at best, has documentation that is as good as .NET's. This is highly unlikely though. Learning the product's layout and quirks dwarfs learning the latest incarnation of .NET.
Then you should do what everyone else with non-street-legal cars does: run them on the track with like-minded individuals, instead of putting every goddamn other road user at risk of death or injury. They don't choose to be near someone who can't do overhand tight turns because the geometry of the steering wheel doesn't permit it.
Correlates? Sure. Causes? I strongly doubt it. Drop a million bucks on Joe Blow and see how things turn out.

I see the milieu of having semi-affluent parents--being steeped in the ins-and-outs of business, law, assets, broader social ties, and higher social standing--as a far more powerful edge than a wad of cash.
ToS terms can't permit you to break the law, in either case. Same as contracts.
They are restricting trades because this looks like a possible crime, and they do not want to be known as crime-friendly brokerages. "Your capital is at risk" is not the same as "it's a free for all."
They're very close to doing an IPO. Or at least they were, before today. This could very well end up destroying the company.
They can make their ruling, now let them enforce it.

I don't mean that as some pithy throwaway, I mean that they lack the resource and ability. It is quite possible (and quite easy) to buy and sell crypto without ever getting involved with a KYC privacy invasion. A crypto transaction involves sending a few hundred bytes of data onto a distributed network, and good luck shutting that down.

Keep in mind that governments historically have a poor record of preventing people from sending and receiving data they'd prefer you didn't.
In 2019 the Trump administration made a change allowing HRA plans to pay for insurance premiums. That went into effect on Jan 2020. That effectively allows a small business to take part/most/all of the employee’s insurance burden from the individual market (healthcare.gov) onto their expense sheet rather than the employee paying for it with post-tax dollars. The problem of course is that in a number of states the individual market plans are still pegged to the price of unobtanium, but it’s a good step forward. The particular vehicle is called an ICHRA.
>mustang corvette terrible handling

Have you driven either ?
The parent company/investor/whatever has a major short position on GME. By preventing Robinhood users from buying, they are reducing pressure on the short squeeze.

Since Robinhood doesn't collect commissions there's no loss of revenue on trade volume. But driving GME's stock price down is definitely saving Citadel billions, and the class action lawsuit is unlikely to cost them billions.

It’s hard to not see some element of “war” here when the rules are changed so dramatically and arbitrarily to advantage sellers over buyers. There is literally a freeze on buying certain stocks for certain investors but not others.

You don’t get much more class warfare than that.

And let’s be honest no one was talking about stoping buying in any names the hedge funds are collectively long
That's a bit extreme. I wouldn't operate open WiFi if I lived in USA, because law enforcement is notoriously over zealous and they are big on saving the children.

I dunno, if wall street had let the bubble burst, and WSB gets scared off with losses, this all could have gone down as "stupid emotional plebs and their tulips". But now that there is definitely lawsuit material, the bigger questions are now firmly part of the narrative and will continue to unfold in the media probably long past the extent of the bubble.
6 months ago, I was the first fully remote hire at the startup I work for. Now about 80% of my coworkers are working from home indefinitely. It truly feels like entering a new era.
I definitely was not blaming Trump for this situation.

If I was saying anything about the relationship between Trump and WSB at all, I was ascribing the opposite blame: populist movements like WSB explain Trump.
From the comment:

> If a retail customer loses money and makes a FINRA complaint that Robinhood induced them to buy through its gameified interface, it is liable

This seems like an attempt to pass the buck to FINRA, and I'm fairly skeptical, but open to being convinced. Have there been FINRA complaints that resulted in substantive enforcement actions centered on a broker's gamified user interface?
This is amusing but to be clear the "poor" they were trying to help was always themselves.
No, I'm granting that as the parent's premise. And what liability reasons would Robinhood have to disallow buying an NYSE listed stock with 100% cash?

Delayed childrearing is also sometimes a desire to have intense and high-effort experiences: living in new countries, learning new languages, acquiring skills, climbing mountains, etc. The idea is once you have a committed partner your life is mostly over, and once you have a kid it's completely over, so you'd better have lived fully by then. To be honest, the messaging from my own parents was not too far off of that.

Some friends are theoretically open to committed partners, but only if they can be long-distance for the first few years while completing their adventures around the world. There's a big push against compromising even your travel agenda, let alone your career, to be with someone.
Genuine question: If you believe AMC and / or Gamestop is a failing business model, why is shorting the stock bad? (NOTE I am not well read on what's happening, other than the gist)
It completely defies the vision and purpose of their company. They should at least change it to Robbing Hood
> Do you actually know the rules?

Brokers have been doing this for decades; it's clearly within the bounds of what they are allowed to do [0]. Maybe this lawsuit can prove that they are conspiring with hedge funds to manipulate the market (which would be illegal), but just this act alone is not illegal.

The one thing I'm trying to understand is how someone with a billion dollars in a short position can be undone with just a million dollars or so of market trades. If that's so, then large short positions are insanely risky.
UBI and single-payer HC may be fastest way to unlocking capital to the lower and middle class. I know far too many smart people who stick with a job they hate simply because the group healthcare is the only thing keeping the individual or family from bankruptcy.
We really need to focus more on the software when talking planned obsolescence of mobile devices. There's phones out there that won't get any security fixes even when they're new, making them obsolete instantly. Why do people keep ignoring that?
They're going to have a much harder time.
> Whether the investments being made are responsible or not, it doesn't seem like it should be their place to intervene.

The entire history of the retail investing is unsophisticated investors shooting themselves in the foot and then turning around and suing everyone who allowed them to shoot themselves in the foot. It's obvious to everyone watching that for every retail investor who buys in at $10 and cashes out at the top there are going to be 20 other traders who FOMO in at $300 or $500 and then hodls all the way down to $10. People have a stated preference for Freedom to take risks but a revealed preference for paternalism (they start suing everyone around them for not "protecting" them from themselves when risks go bad). You can't blame companies for rationally responding to the legal liability they think they will incur if they let more retail traders pile onto meme stocks.
Everyone who buys options is doing business with citadel. They're the originator of most options. HFT firms are inescapable because their very reason for existing is to provide the market with the best prices.

Yeah I think Rust's place in this ecosystem is a C/C++ replacement. All the Python and R data science packages call into native code to do the heavy lifting--the linear algebra, gradient descent etc. The next Tensorflow or PyTorch type framework could be implemented in Rust instead of C++. But it shouldn't matter to the end users--they would still use the Python or R bindings so they can have an interactive REPL environment to do their analysis in.

Julia is interesting because it's performant enough to implement these things directly--Julia's machine learning frameworks are written in pure Julia (with the exception of the calls to CUDA libraries for GPU) and can achieve near-native performance, so solving the "two language problem" is part of its value proposition. I do wonder how valuable it is for the whole stack to be written in one language, and whether that will blur the lines between the software engineers who implement data science packages and the data scientists who use them.
I made an eink clock / status display a while back. The thing ran on a tiny lithium-ion battery for weeks, which was nifty. But the flash when the screen refreshes every minute is super distracting if it's anywhere in your field of view. That to me was a dealbreaker. (If it helps, the datasheet says that it damages the display to refresh it every minute, and it did indeed die mysteriously after a year or so!)

I think I like normal LCDs for status displays. It is possible to redraw the screen without inverting it and drawing a lot of attention, so it is more "ambient".
AFAIK most of the Postgres bits of Redshift have been rewritten except for the SQL parser and client protocol.

I imagine the paternalism argument would be something like "currently GME is part of a ponzi scheme, and you would be defrauded by making this purchase".
